For the JGC paper coupon (2000yen), what's the best use of them? I can spend them on ticket but the service charge seems high whether at the airport or over phone, and there isn't a way to purchase online right?

I used that for Yokoso booking as I was going to pay for the ticketing fee either way. It's higher than travel agent but oh well...you can use them for inflight purchase or domestic F upgrades too I guess.

honestly they should simply waive the ticketing charge when JAL Coupon is used to issue the ticket. It simply doesn't make sense for them to give me JPY3000 for broken IFE and in order to use them, I need to pay USD50 for ticketing fee LOL

Right, and even with ticketing thru phone agent you still have to mail them back which is another cost as well I assume.

There is no way to use them online. I have tried to book a ticket online, not issuing it, and then go by the JAL Plaza in Yurakucho to have the coupons applied. That also triggered the 5300 yen booking fee.

So first time JAL flyer (usually ANA) so forgive my ignorance. I'm on a paid biz\J ticket Okinawa to Haneda at the moment and they are charging for alcohol. Is that normal on JAL? ANA is normally free for me in biz. Plane swapped to a 777-300 so not sure if that matters. Arigato

For example, when you deposit one time 48,544 JPY, you get 50,000JPY JAL travel coupon after 6 months.

You can find ticket shops that sell JAL travel coupon at discount price (e.g. 1000JPY coupons at 970JPY).
There are some such shops around Tokyo station and Ginza area. So, you may go to those shops before visiting JAL plaza at Yurakucho.

Do you have to pay a fee if you use the coupon for upgrades at the counter in Haneda?
